Step 1: Finding and Downloading a Mod

To get started, you need to find a mod you want to install. You can visit your favorite download site and download the mod to your computer. In most cases, the mod will be downloaded to your Downloads folder.

Step 2: Verify the Integrity of the File

Before installing the mod, it’s essential to verify the integrity of the file. Most mods come as a zip file because this is the standard format for Farming Simulator 17 to read and recognize it as a mod. Occasionally, you may find that the main download contains two or three mods that need to be expanded or extracted before you can use them.

Step 3: Extracting the Mod Files

When you encounter a compression file with additional zip files inside, you need to extract the contents. You can use a program like WinRAR to open the file and extract the necessary files. Once you’ve extracted the files, you’ll be left with the actual mods that you need to install.

Step 4: Installing the Mod

To install the mod, navigate to your computer’s Documents folder, then My Games, Farming Simulator 2017, and finally, the Mods folder. Drag the mod you want to install into the Mods folder.

Step 5: Launching the Game and Activating the Mod

After installing the mod, relaunch Farming Simulator 17. If you’re installing a modded map, you might encounter issues when starting a new game. To resolve this, navigate to the Career section, create a save game, and then click the green arrows to scroll through the maps until you find the one you want to play.

Step 6: Enabling and Disabling Mods

When starting a new game with a custom map, make sure to disable other maps in your Mods folder to prevent mod conflicts. Scroll through your Mods list and disable any other maps by unchecking them. If you’re adding a new mod to an existing game, the mod will be listed but unchecked. To activate it, simply check the box next to the mod.

That’s it! With these steps, you can easily install and enjoy mods and maps for Farming Simulator 17. If you found this article helpful, please leave a comment below…
